Did we read the same thing??

Can anyone stop for a second and just truly analyze the context of this story?

Ines NEVER LOVED Emiliano. The few instances she mentions that timeline where she married him, she almost always mentioned that she used Emiliano to get away from her royal life and have freedom. She eventually came to care for him and feel something close to love (WHICH SHE MENTIONS EXACTLY LIKE THAT) bc he did indeed give her freedom and a child, she “loved” the father of her child, not the man Emiliano was.

And bc Cárcel doesn’t know any of this (nor does he read minds) HE MISINTERPRETED EVERYTHING. He believes Ines loved Emiliano when he was just a means to an end.

And choosing to divorce her is a smart move bc of these reasons (according to the context in this story):
- Divorced women can manage their own life and choose to marry whoever.
- Married women can be lovers of any royal.
- A king/prince can take a married woman as a lover . This lover can only be with their husband (if they are married) and the king, they cannot be the lover of other royals.
- A king/prince CANNOT take a DIVORCED WOMAN as a lover and much less a wife.

Ines planned to become a divorcee bc it would mean Oscar will never be able to touch her without risking his title. Carcel doesn’t “fully” know this but he understands the gist of it. Therefore choosing to divorce Ines is the smart move for her to be finally happy.

That last bit of buying a title to Emiliano is just him being an idiot thinking Ines is still in love with the man.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk

    Season 3 will show what it means to see Ines in love and the lengths she will tirelessly go through to protect him. Actually, Ines finally appears two chapters from now and her reaction is priceless. It just shows how in love she is.

    Oh and that ‘him’ is Carcel. The only man she can truly be herself with, the only man who she already promised she will one day tell her secrets and the only man who she wants to give the best version of herself to. And all this she desires to do in a mere two years of marriage while getting to know the real him.

    She was essentially codependent on him to earn her (shortlived) freedom and she knows that too, carcel is a few chapters short

    Maybe it was freedom from Oscar but living as fugitives where she had to discard her name and use her waiting lady’s name by going as ‘Juana of Sevilla’…having to isolate herself from everyone including commoners who sunk her name in the mud throughout the country…having to live from inn to inn…spending nights plagued with nightmares and memory loss untreated…I don’t exactly know if it’s truly freedom or if it’s just freedom from Oscar.

    Right now Ines Escalante is living the freest life she’s ever lived. She can come and go as she pleases and walk anywhere she likes in Ortega and no one can stop her. And one of these days soon, she’ll get a vehicle that gives her even more freedom to go anywhere in the world.

    Yess totally, I ve been reading this for so long that I forgot little details here and there but thanks for summing it up, totally agree even I thought it works, especially for my little heart that struggles seeing a perfect couple ending in death trope tragedy its better to subtly end it divorce instead
